I'm so glad Nicky helps
you! Otherwise, I'd be worried
that you'd have to do all of that work alone.

Ooh, a chateau in
southern France...gorgeous!

I can't sew,
either. The only way I'm making a
dress is if I can use knitting needles or crochet hooks!

Does Char sew? If so, I'm envious,
really! I wish I could sew.

Bridal
stores can have some really nice selections, and when I used to go
to some of them, they had many incredible dresses at a fraction of
the cost, particularly when there was a sale of "certain gowns
priced at $100." One of my friends found a dress at one
of the $100 sales (I don't know if she wore that particular one on
her wedding day, as we weren't in touch at that time) at a bridal
shop. She was thrilled. She brought it to a
woman who used to sew all of our clothes (the woman was putting
away all of the money she earned for her daughter's education
)...the woman confided in me that she
felt the wedding gown wasn't really a great quality
thing. But she added some really nice beads, sequins,
etc, to it, and it was gorgeous! And I doubt she had to pay
much for the extras, so for her, the gown cost maybe $120 or so
altogether.

Thanks! I'll ask my husband about
6/21...sigh, like I said, he's so picky, he hasn't liked a single
date I've suggested so far.

tell him i said i said 6/21 is the date it's not open for
discussion picky assed thing :p yeah char can sew she makes
clothes,toys,curtains all sorts southern france or an italian
chateau is what i want

I'm
definitely jealous...wish I could sew like Char does...I do love
crocheting and knitting, but they take such a darned long time for
the tiniest things. It would be nice to sew a
few seams and be done with it, especially when it's something like
a pillow!

Southern France or Italian chateau
would do it for me, too - you have excellent taste!

I'm in good company, then.
Because I practically have to
take a chill pill to sew something!

cola?

Argh, I know that feeling, and I'm so
sorry you're going through it right now! I'm here if you want to
talk. LOL, or type.
